Why is the Composite Origami team flying in microgravity? We want to improve the techniques for fabrication, storage, deployment, and tracking of composite origami structures used in outer space.

This week the Composite Origami team will be taking over the BLAST Lab Twitter to talk about our trip to fly with @ZEROGResearch. Stay tuned for pictures + updates!
Congratulations to Andrew Rocco for being selected to receive a @NSFGRFP fellowship! mae.ncsu.edu/blog/2020/04/20…

Here was the #golfball stuck to the screw afterwards
This team survive the hail and then decide to go after the @MarkRober and @smartereveryday #golfball challenge. @ncstatemae @NCStateEngr

Very Innovative use of #seatbelt for stopping hail. @ncstatemae @NCStateEngr

Who knew #ducttape was capable of stopping 300 mph hail. Thanks for the creative idea from @ncstatemae students. @NCStateEngr #wolfpack
Thanks @NASAArmstrong for this amazing opportunity. We had a blast on the @ZEROGResearch flight doing this work.
In Nov, 10 space techs supported by NASA Flight ✈️ Opportunities were put to the test in 0 gravity with @GoZeroG including this lightweight spacecraft boom from @NCStateEngr – it can be used for deploying solar arrays, solar sails, and other instruments in space. 📸: @GoZeroG

Wrapping up two weeks of @ZEROGResearch, we remain truly inspired by the numerous teams of #scientists, #engineeers, #inventors and #creators that performed microgravity #research on board G-FORCE ONE. #FlightSuitFriday has never looked so good!
